User manual CLARION BCX100 INSTALLATION MANUAL

[. . . ] · Power Indicator - The power indicator will light up when the Sonic Bass Enhancer is on. · Gold-Plated RCA Input/Output Connectors - For increased durability the BCX100 features Gold-plated RCAconnectors. · Subwoofer Crossover Frequency Adjustment - Adjusts the crossover frequency to match your subwoozfer. The crossover frequency can be set to one of three different settings: 70Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz. [. . . ] This lead turns on and off with the key. 4 1. Before installation, make sure the source unit Ignition Switch is in the OFF position. Disconnect the negative (-) lead of the battery before making any power connections. A clean chassis ground connection is critical to the performance of your Clarion BCX100. Use the shortest ground wire possible and securely connect to the car chassis to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems. Refer to the Figure 3 when making electrical connections. Connect the Sonic Bass Enhancer's positive (+) lead via a fuse directly to the positive (+) terminal on the battery. Use red insulated 18-gauge (or larger) wire for the Sonic Bass Enhancer's positive (+) power lead and the same gauge black insulated wire for the ground. To avoid noise problems, run the Sonic Bass Enhancer's positive (+) power lead and the amplifier's positive (+) power lead along one side of the vehicle to the battery. Run the remote turn-on wire and RCA audio cables down the center, and route the speaker wires along the remaining side. If wires must cross, run them perpendicular to each other. When creating passage holes for the power wire, use grommets to eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect the wire from being nicked and causing a short circuit. Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an "antenna" for noise. Use only high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary to make a direct connection with the source unit and amplifiers. Figure 3- 5 MOUNTING THE REMOTE LEVEL CONTROL The BCX100 Remote Sub Level Control can be mounted in any convenient location in your vehicle that allows access to the control. The flanges on the chassis have mounting holes which can be used as a template for screw holes. The chassis can be removed for a ISO insallation by drilling a 3/8" hole in a blank switch plate on the dash or center console. [. . . ] If the problem stays on the same side, proceed on. Swap left and right connections at the input to the Sonic Bass Enhancer. If the problem trades sides in the vehicle, then the wiring is defective between the source unit and the crossover. If the problem stays on the same side, proceed on. [. . . ]
